Social and Economic Information for Winning Grants
March 8/9am-12pm/ $60.00 CRI 510
Facilitator: Anthony Schaffhauser
The workshop is specially designed to meet the unique needs of both beginning and advanced grant writers. The teaching philosophy of the class is "hands‑on" ‑ during the workshop; each student has access to a PC on the Internet and will learn to create a compelling demographic profile of their community. Participants will learn to access valuable data for their specific area of interest. State and Federal grants increasingly require in‑depth demographic study of the population you serve; and the competition for these dollars is not getting easier. This hands‑on workshop will teach you how to succeed.
Workshop participants will receive a 3.5" diskette to take with them containing:
- Sample data from several Minnesota Counties showing demographic trends
- Sample computer‑generated maps of Minnesota Counties
- A "Top‑Ten" Internet links page for no‑hassle access to just the data you need.
